Prepare and mark a regular C8 on a 25cm ball (wrap color will
be covered
completely). add additional mark threads in each of the six "squares"
shown
by the red and blue lines in the diagram. This will result in 6 smaller
squares, each with a "4 patch" of squares that have an X in them, as
well
as smaller triangles.
Work squares in each of the X'd squares, starting with the darkest shade of a graduated color sequence of 4 to 5 shades. End each square with one round of white (or have the color sequence have about 6 shades and use the lightest shade). On a 25 cm ball, this takes about 13 rounds including the white (shown in green in the diagram). Work triangles in the same gradated sequence using 3 alternating marker threads. With a double thread in the lightest shade or white, fill in spaces over marker threads, working the "+" in the squares first, and then from pole to pole. Ball is complete. |
